Mac OS - R7000 Nighthawk - System/DNS Server does not 'hold' the router address
Mac OS 12.4 I did my first post to this forum earlier today and got such excellent help. thanx Thought I would throw up another that has been bothering me for awhile. - Our service providers DNS ...
The devices will not show the routers DNS settings.
But the router will pass the information via the router defined DNS.
I have all my devices setup with Google DNS and the router DNS set too.
Do you mean inputting the DNS on the R7000 web page change back from Google DNS back to ISP DNS?
No, the router is not assigning the google DNS to any of the connected devices.

As mentioned, devices them selves will not show actual DNS you configured on the router. The will only show the routers IP. This is known as a DNS Proxy. Most all NG routers have this. Something that you can't disable.

thank you.
At this office we have 4 computers.
I checked and three of them, of course not mine, display the router number 10.0.2.1 correctly, therefore getting the more stable Google DNS numbers.
BUT, my computer, of course will not 'hold' the router number.
I called apple T2 support, nice guy.... and short of new install, blah blah blah.... there is no fix.
My computer displays the ISP DNS numbers and will not 'keep hold' of the router number.
If anyone has any thoughts, ... appreciated.
And yes, I have cleared the DNS cache several times, to no avail.....
Cheers
